Protesters in Noida turned violent on Monday, vandalising offices and factories in industrial areas of Phase 2 and sectors like 59, 60, and 62. Several cars and motorcycles were set on fire, while office-goers and commuters were asaulted amid the chaos. The unrest, which began as a demand for higher wages and better pay parity following a recent hike in neighbouring Haryana, quickly escalated despite government assurances of forming a high-level committee to resolve the issues. The protests, backed by the labour organisation Mazdoor Bigul, have left parts of Noida in turmoil, with stones pelted at police and vehicles, leading to heavy traffic snarls and the use of tear gas by authorities to disperse the crowds. Eyewitnesses reported groups smashing windows, overturning cars, and targeting properties in hosiery and garment complexes, causing widespread disruption across the Delhi-NCR region. Many online users have labelled the protests as fake or stage-managed, pointing to the sudden involvement of outsiders and organised violence that appeared to go beyond genuine worker grievances. Police have deployed heavy forces and remain on high alert, while investigations continue into possible external instigation and the extent of damage to public and private property. @thetrid.ent
